EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: Hello I&apos;m Emma Alberici from Lateline. As the ABC&apos;s Europe correspondent I reported from the Vatican on the declaration of Australia&apos;s first Catholic saint, Mary MacKillop. Tonight&apos;s Australian Story reveals the very personal journey behind that historic event. Kathleen Evans made a seemingly impossible recovery from lung cancer - and her case was eventually accepted as a miracle by the Catholic Church. Whether you are a believer, or a non-believer - and Mrs Evans has been both - her experiences have been startling.
